The Chair is Against the Wall- Gaming Thread! (Open Thread)Afternoon my friends. Zakn here. I don't have a ton this week, so The Dude is bailing my ass out with tons of ~content~. You too can bail my ass out by sending me info on what you are up to in the world of gaming by sending me write ups to aoshqgaming at gmail dot com. None of you slackers beyond Dude have done it, so Thanks for Nothing! Cheerleader below the fold...maybe. The Walking Dead Game Episode 3 is out. I even bugged Ben to put it on the sidebar when it went on sale. If you didn't snag it, it's your loss. There's some really icky choices in this episode, and I'm curious to see how they impact the game as we move on. Remember if you buy they game Season pass on XBLA or PSN, or the game on Steam you get all the episodes. @Zakn ooot Hello, it's Dude again. A quick writeup before I get to the meat of this week's post GOG.com brought back the criminally under-rated King of Dragon Pass for the low price of $5.99. It combines choose your own adventure and civ style 4x. Also on tap is a pre-order of Inquisitor finally coming out in english. Old school cRPG with loot whoring that has racked up a ton of awards when it came out in 09. They're also trying to get it through Steam's Greenlight process (I have hope but considering how long it took for something like Din's Curse to make it, I probably shouldn't). Anyways, GOG has it as a pre-order sale for $11.99 (down from $14.99) and it will be out on the 5th. Sadly we don't get an english version of their bad ass Collector's Edition :( Which leads me into Steam's launch of their Greenlight process where they have indie pubs submit their games to the community and see if they can finally get their games on to the service. Tons of crap to be submitted for sure but there are some that really should not have to go through this. Like Oniken, Escape Goat, Gnomoria, The Oil Blue, Perpetuum, Project Zomboid and Project Giana really should not be up there. Of course, Valve shouldn't have rejected Oil Blue a few times themselves but that's a different story. I guess if nothing else, we should finally be able to see Pinball Arcade and Zen Pinball on the service after being rejected by Valve. Personally, I'm hoping for some VN but I have to admit to not holding my breath on that genre. On the SC2 front, after the shitstorm, KeSPA and ESF has patched up and with kespa and esf are in each other's tourneys. Some really good names (though some interesting ommisons) that will step into the GOM Arena: fan favorite JaeDong and Rain getting Code S seedings and Trap, RoRo, Effort and Shy getting Code A seedings. Interesting in that Hero and Soulkey didn't get seeds after their showings in the Korean Nationals but the way they used SPL rankings, it makes sense. Some really interesting loses in the Starleague, I'm really surprised that the ones from GOM that people expected to do well ended up losing their first game (MarineKing and MVP). At least it's group play so their is a chance but it's still disappointing. DRG and Parting did well in their first appearance though. Well, I started off to write a review for a horror game that I've been waiting for to hit Steam (it's been out since June) but it really is a hard game to review without spoiling anything on where the story goes on my play-through. Game play is almost non-existent as it's a really basic point&click stuff but the atmosphere and story is quite good. With the story changing every play-through based on what you do and what you choose in y/n questions, it's gives it the re-playability that is needed in such a short game (60-90 minutes). It's currently on a steam release sale till the 7th for $2.54 and I give it a thumbs up. Guild Wars 2 (Zakn here) This goes to long term viability of the Game I promised a cheerleader but I lied.
